The first true wrinkle typically emerges around age 25, affecting all skin types. It's often a fine dehydration line caused by a disrupted hydro-lipid film, leading to dry skin that marks easily—especially around the eyes. The term "first wrinkle" also applies to expression wrinkles from facial movements (like frowning or squinting) or chronological wrinkles starting around 30, when collagen breakdown exceeds production.
The good news: Superficial wrinkles are reversible before they deepen. Focus on preventive skincare and potent active ingredients to protect and restore your skin's youthfulness.
